Workshop Oct. 1 geared toward working women

Grace Community Church presents “Redeem Your Story, Exchanging Lost Dreams for new Beginnings.” This one-day seminar for spiritual renewal and encouragement, presented by The Christian Working Woman, will be from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Oct. 1.

Many of us reach stages in our lives where we feel that our story line has taken a path that we never intended or wanted. That important career that we worked so hard to acquire somehow has not delivered the satisfaction and rewards we dreamed of. That storybook marriage either hasn’t happened, or seems to be a horror story instead.

Are we doomed to live out our days mourning the loss of our dreams, settling for second best? Is the abundant life that Jesus promised us in John 10:10 never to be ours? Or do we just have unrealistic expectations?
